Task Overview

Implementation of scope-up and scope-down CLI commands for dynamic task complexity adjustment with strength levels, custom prompts, and MCP integration.

Subtasks Completed

• 104.1: Extended CLI with scope-up and scope-down commands
• 104.2: Implemented task/subtask retrieval and context gathering
• 104.3: Developed core complexity adjustment logic
• 104.4: Implemented task update and persistence logic
• 104.5: Integrated with MCP tool and added comprehensive error handling

Implementation Details

• Full CLI command integration with strength parameters (light/regular/heavy)
• MCP tool equivalents for integrated environments like Cursor
• Comprehensive test coverage using TDD methodology
• AI-powered complexity adjustment with context awareness
• Robust error handling and validation
• Added new CLI commands: task-master scope-up and task-master scope-down
• Support for comma-separated task/subtask IDs
• Custom prompt functionality for targeted adjustments
• Three strength levels: light, regular, heavy

Testing

• Unit tests added with full TDD coverage
• Integration tests for CLI and MCP interfaces
• Manual testing completed across different scenarios
• All existing tests still passing

Breaking Changes

None - purely additive functionality.

Files Added/Modified

• New MCP Tools: scope-up.js, scope-down.js
• New Core Logic: scope-adjustment.js
• CLI Integration: Updated commands.js and task-manager.js

Usage Examples

# Scope up a single task with regular strength
task-master scope-up --id=5

# Scope down multiple tasks with light strength
task-master scope-down --id=10,11,12 --strength=light

# Custom scoping with specific instructions
task-master scope-up --id=7 --prompt="Focus on adding more error handling and edge cases"
